I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

🧵:

Last June, more than 5 million Americans joined #NoKings rallies across the country, protesting President Trump's authoritarianism. And this Saturday, with your help, it's going to be even bigger and better.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

This is Colton. He started a fire at his house when he chewed through a lithium ion battery. He's not the first dog to do this, and he won't be the last, but unfortunately his dad is a firefighter, so it's probably going down as one of the most embarrassing instances. We're still giving him a 12/10

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

So nothing screams racism like this scenario:

Border Patrol just outside of El Paso, TX, while my son and I were on the phone.

BORDER PATROL: Are you an American citizen?

MY SON: Yes (He's white)

BORDER PATROL: Ok (waves my son through)

You obvs don't know about Cd. Juarez, Chih, and El Paso, TX. People here cross bridges to work and go to UTEP, Loretto, Cathedral. Students must deal with “border patrol” and ICE, as they try harassing citizens, esp at Bowie HS in South El Paso, a mile from Juarez. c/s
www.vice.com/en/article/t...

In their 2015 mural Sister Cities/Ciudades Hermanas Ramon and Christian painted Juárez and El Paso as two nearly identical women: “The women are used as a metaphor for the connection between the border communities. The characters illustrated inside the sister’s chain fence pattern shirt represent the people who have been at the mercy and directly affected by capitalist trade agreements and interests, which have a very notable impact on our communities. At the bottom, both landscapes converge at the center with a dried up river in between. It talks about our commonalities, like being illuminated by the same sun, but also about our struggles,” explains Ramon

They're beginning to get braver, aren't they? The guy who shot the dog ran away, don't tell me they were real agents, because they would have stayed around. There's far too many of these Bogus Jan6thers and oath keepers, and the other dregs of society. If someone takes action, the price will be high

A dog is like family. To that family we are sorry for your loss. To the person who killed the dog, maybe talk to Kristi Noem. Was she secretly there in uniform that day? Their faces were covered. We don’t know.

Did the ICE goon who shot the dog have a mask, long dark hair, and a fresh change of wardrobe?

When Democrats are back in power they should offer monetary awards for evidence of wrongdoing. Because we already know ICE will sell their souls for $$

ICE - out your fellow officers. You must know what they are doing is wrong but you’re justifying being there with a ‘few bad apples’ argument. So, out those bad apples.

Only a group of cowards would do that shit. This regime is doing everything they can to turn this into a Civil War and use The Insurrection Act to rule our lives with US Military who are sworn to protect the Constitution of the USA not some demented racist, rapist, felon playing King.
